Judge Upholds Union Finance Rule By LEIGH STROPE, AP
WASHINGTON - A federal judge on Thursday upheld a new Labor Department regulation requiring unions to disclose more details about their finances but she delayed the effective date to July 1.
The AFL-CIO sued in November, asking the judge to invalidate the rule, which was to take effect Jan. 1. The AFL-CIO contended Labor Secretary Elaine Chao did not have the authority to issue the rule or to require unions to report detailed transactions.
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ruled that the secretary did have the rulemaking authority and that the rule was 'reasonable, adequately explained and not arbitrary or capricious.'
